The only one that would compare imo is Randy Turpin over Ray Robinson & that's only because of just how brilliant Sugar Ray was.

I can't believe people are comparing Sergio Martinez to Ray Robinson

It wouldn't be as big a win as that.

Honeyghan's win over Don Curry and Kirkland Laing's win over Duran are both bigger wins than this would be.

Martinez right now is easily the most overated fighter in the sport.
